REFIT EXCELLENCE
With an abundance of dedicated and skilled labour, these yards will meticulously restore and enhance your vessels, preserving their timeless allure
ORAMS MARINE
As the region’s leading combination of superyacht facilities and services, Orams Marine offers refit in the heart of the Pacific’s leading marine precinct. The central Auckland shipyard delivers award-winning refit services, a blend of facilities and trades, and a location adjacent to restaurants, crew housing and recreation. In the region’s longest- running superyacht refit yard, the Orams Marine team has built a maintenance hub, complete with recently upgraded facilities; a 820 tonne travel lift allows large yachts to haul out in the central city, while buildings which accommodate the travel lift give those yachts access to an enclosed work environment. An additional 600 tonne slipway as well as a number of other marine travel lifts mean yachts, support vessels and tenders can be hauled for an efficient refit period. There’s also a wide range of services onsite such as customs clearance and immigration.
